Home sales in Northeast Ohio are rebounding in a big way so far this year. Sales increased more than 17 percent from January through October compared to the same period last year. The total amount of money that changed hands also increased, by more than 22 percent.

The figures cover 17 counties from Cuyahoga to Cochocton and from Mahoning to Medina.

“It was a good exercise to go back 12 years and really compare the numbers and understand exactly where we stood," DeMusz says. "And that gave us two important benchmarks— of 2005 being the high point and 2011 being the low point. And now we are on our way back up. So I am pretty optimistic about the recovery on housing.”

Average home prices also increased in Northeast Ohio compared to this time last year.

In Summit County, the average price increased by more than 11 percent. The Stark County average went up by more than 8 percent and in Cuyahoga County, it climbed nearly 3 percent.
